Well one of the girls in the James Bond movie For Your Eyes Only was a tranny, or at least once a man so, who's to say there aren't some Booth Babes who are the same?

Also shame on those who don't know that that reference is actually of Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs.
Huh. Interesting about the bond girl thing.

As for buffalo bill, I know that reference, much as I wish I didn't. -_-

I do find it awkward watching these kind of things without taking it personally.
Especially considering how easy it is to get things confused.

A transvestite is NOT the same thing as a transsexual; They're motivated by quite different issues, and it's unhelpful to everyone involved to confuse the two.

A transvestite is a man who likes dressing in women's clothing. A cross-dresser, essentially, though even that has slightly different implications.

A transsexual is a person (could be a man OR woman, originally), who believes they are/should be a member of the opposite gender. In most cases, the goal or desire of a transsexual is to be as close as it is possible to their chosen gender. (Ie. Under ideal circumstances, they would be indistinguishable from someone born that way.)

In any event, judging from this, I'd lean towards the character here being a transvestite.
But you can never really be sure in reality, and with a character like this, I doubt anyone even thought about it beyond the usual joke...
Funny, there's a transvestite(I'm pretty sure a transexual is one who is BORN inbetween itself)tribe in one of the states in my country(India).Scary part is that they have the tendency to lob off their privates at some point.I'm not sure the tribe members themselves WANT to be what they are.It really is sad what 'culture' sometimes forces you to do.

OT:This was an almost great episode but it was totally ruined by that...moment.I mean,one sniff would have been enough.

I would like this series more, but this episode really brought home the furry hate

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was horribly uncomfortable with this episode.

Wow guys...I mean, wow.

I don't know if you are getting either risky or lazy with the jokes, because even I had a lot of mixed feelings about this episode. It had really good punch lines, but the sniffing joke should be 10 seconds shorter. Bob's expression at the end of the video was a mirror image of my own XD That was funny.

huh, so looks like prediction of last week wasnt too far off (that is i said the show goes up and down, with one week being good, one bad, with this week due a bad one, personal opinion only of course), thats not to say it was an awful episode but not the best, certainly in my mind one of the lower ones, maybe its because im not getting all the references others are, or the sniffing joke went on far too long... also chet was playing the part of captain exposition it seems "hey we are at e3 in our booth for our game, everyone got that? ok see you later"

and the game itself may cause "excessive swearing or masturbation".... what would it do if that was a pre-existing condition?... erm I've said too much

(just to calirify the above was made in jest for chuckles, please dont tear me a new one over it)

also poor bob, I feel your pain, thats exactly how I felt after seeing that

Just when GameDogs was starting to get interesting for me, to the point where I wanted to watch it, y'all had to shove in an "OMG GAY!" joke.

Not only is it painfully outdated, the whole Crying Game joke isn't even all that funny. And even if it was, the 60 seconds of ass-sniffing by Mr. Yee made no sense and wasn't funny either. If you'd just kept it to a quick wide-eye moment, it would have had plenty of punch and gotten the point across.

The warning was the only funny part, and it scrolled by too quickly to really "stick" for most users. You should have had less of it and scrolled it slowly enough to where an attentive person could have gotten the gist without pausing.

It's just that y'all are starting to do the sort of dumb shit that was on Titan Maximum and various bad Family Guy episodes. You were almost getting up to the point where Game Dogs was as funny or funnier than some of the Adult Swim cartoons. Now you're backsliding.

And it's not like there aren't good gay jokes on The Escapist. Some of the early episodes of Apocalypse Lane had really GREAT gay jokes, relying on leaving things unsaid to really make things hilarious.

You know what you SHOULD have done? Introduced a rival game character who was a total douche-dick, and who motivated the Game Dogs to outdo him. Giving them a "villain" they can actually fight against (as opposed to the boss) would be an excellent way of pushing forward a lot of the character development. It would serve as a motivator, and give them an overarching goal, as well as a reason to give a shit about whether or not Satan's Retrievers ended up being a decent game. As it is now, they don't give a shit, and neither do we.

I laughed. I actually laughed. The butt sniffing was money. I love jokes that go on too long. Ya know? the ones that are funny then arent funny but then it gets funny again because of the ridiculous length. bravo.
Really? People still find crotch/butt sniffing funny?

What's even sadder is that in a parody of the Game Dogs trailer, someone actually used the "can I, like, sniff your butt a bit?" joke.
What can I say? it struck me. And what have you been watching where crotch/butt sniffing jokes are worn out?
I think that few days after the "trailer" for Game Dogs came out, there was a parody where they had a dialog:

"- And later, you know, I could, like, sniff your crotch for a bit
- Yeah, I'd love it if you would... sniff my crotch."

Aaand guess who did a crotch sniffing joke few weeks later.

You seriously compare crude cartoon humor to pornography, softcore bestiality and furry transvestites?

But what am I expecting... One look at your avatar says a thousand words.
And you get all that, plus being a pretentious dick out of a simple cartoon?? Figures..
Yes, why are you being so pretentious?

...Oh come on mods, I get a 3 day suspension for replying to someone who insults my family, and a dude calling me a pretentious dick is still not banned?

NICE! Great to see you guys are finally taking my advice. Of course, my suggestion was dropping acid, but trannies are great too. The sniffing joke was a winner as well.

I was enjoying the series up until now but I could only detect two jokes in this episode. The cross-dresser dog and the 'I am a dog, sniffing your butt' jokes. They went on far too long and were not funny. Completely devoid of any humor and dragged out farther than their welcome like a badly executed extended gag on Family Guy. By the way these jokes were executed it is clear to me the writers are now grasping at straws and trying to find ways of padding each episode so they are not too short.

I am not watching another episode of these. And no, I am not one of these viewers who has previously said 'well, I am not watching this show again' only to have watched every episode to date; this is the first time I am saying it and I am really not watching this show again.

Best episode yet. Hands down. If you folks can keep it right around this level then you'll be golden.
